Customer Highlights

Jun 04, 2026

I hope improvements are made in the future.

The overall experience was disappointing. Customer service was not as responsive as expected, and several issues remained unresolved. I hope improvements are made in the future.

No complaints at all.

I highly recommend asking for Zachary if you book here. We had a tricky move with a narrow basement staircase. He measured everything first and had a plan. He guided his team perfectly, getting our freezer and washing machine up without a hitch. They were done in under 4 hours.

Very frustrating experience.

Several boxes were handled carelessly, and a few belongings arrived damaged. The crew seemed rushed and paid little attention to fragile items. Very frustrating experience.

Highly recommend this moving crew.

Highly recommend this moving crew. I had a bunch of musical instruments, including a keyboard and speakers. They wrapped everything tightly and secured it in the truck. No bumps or marks when it arrived. You can tell they know what they're doing.

extremely helpful and pleasant

Totally happy with how they handled my sewing equipment and craft supplies. They were very careful with the delicate parts and made sure the boxes stayed level. It was such a smooth moving experience.

10/10 would use again.

10/10 would use again. We were moving my daughter into a 3rd-floor apartment with no elevator. The guys from M Company carried every box and piece of furniture up all those stairs. They never slowed down or complained. They even helped her unpack the heaviest boxes. The whole job took about 5 hours, which was less than they quoted.

Thanks again for being my moving superheroes!

10/10 experience with this moving crew when I had to clear out my attic and move everything to a rental unit. I had a lot of old trunks and some heavy holiday decorations that were very dusty. William did not mind the dust, and they worked very quickly to get the truck filled up. They were very organized and stacked the trunks so I could still reach the doors.

My hats off to you!

Our building's loading dock was under repair, so the movers had to park further away. They didn't bat an eye at the longer carry. They used their dollies efficiently and kept a steady pace all day. Despite the unexpected hurdle, they finished within the original estimated timeframe.

Everything went smoothly

Positive outcome after relocating my handmade pottery inventory from the workshop to a gallery space. The movers worked with crates filled with fragile ceramics and made sure each box had the right padding. They didn’t just stack things to save time; they checked for balance and spacing. I chose the new space to join a shared artist collective.

The experience was disappointing.

I expected a smoother process, but there were several issues along the way. Customer support was difficult to reach, and concerns were not addressed promptly. The experience was disappointing.
